I signed Kenny up this year but wasn't sure if it was worth it going forward? ????? Registering your dog with AKC is a one time thing. You don't have to do it every year. And yes, it is important in the purebred dog world to register your dog with AKC. In the future you may want to do rally or agility or obedience with him in competition & if he is not registered, you'd have to register him at that time & pay a higher fee. |
If you registered him then that's a one time deal  There's no going forward. It's not like a motor vehicle where you renew annually, he's registered for life. Or maybe I misunderstood your question?Be glad you did register him (from what I'm gathering). What if you some day decide to enter him in obedience or rally or agility or herding tests/trials? It's not just for showing/breeding the dog needs to be registered. Now you're all set and aren't left looking for his paperwork when he's say, four years old, and paying a hefty late fee to register him then. As for more general reasons to register your puppy, it's not very expensive (if done before a year old) and the monies go, among other things, to support AKC programs such as the AKC Canine Health Foundation (of which our breed is one of the many beneficiaries), the AKC Humane Fund, and their legislative efforts aimed at preserving our right to own dogs. What registration name did you decide on? Kristine |
Ok, cool. I didn't realize it wasn't a yearly renewal. I was more-so curious than anything else. I'm glad I did it as I may look at agility classes when I stop travelling so much for work  . I want to be present for the classes rather than just Casi.Anyway, I'm glad I did it and thanks for the response. I had to register him under HUG Kenny per the breeder agreement. |

| DO IT! I wish someone had told me to do it when Simon was a pup. Its much more expensive when he's an adult...hence his PAL # which did not cost me an arm and a leg. |

I didn't know about registration going along with the other competitions, thanks for the info. We knew we were not showing but registered our dogs anyway. We abided by our breeders limited registration requirement, and that was ok by us. We wanted the dogs to be accounted for with the breed and also to give the breeder recognition for the pup (I hope that doesn't sound silly). Plus it was fun coming up with a unique name.  |
| Rob, I was told a while back that registering with the AKC also helps keep pure bred numbers in line. Just think, if everyone who got a purebred and registered it we'd have an awesome database where we could get some great accurate numbers per breed. Sadly this isn't the case but you can sleep better knowing you did your small part to try. Also it just makes me feel good knowing I have a registered dog as I've always wanted one. Our first two were rescues so we were outside looking. Vance |
| I didn't register Brick when we got him and if I want to do it now, it'll be well over $100. Plus they won't let me use the name I want to use, so... |
| I have Rufus's AKC paper work, picking a name is hard. So far I have come up with Prince Rufus of Oregon. LOL I consider him my son, hence Prince, Rufus is what we call him, and Oregon is the street we live on. On the paperwork you have up to 1yr to register your dog. There are different packages there is the "gold" for 29 dollars, which includes AKC certified pedigree, 1yr subscription to AKC Family dog magazine, and dog care and training dvd (i am opting for this package), There is a "silver" package for 16 dollars with 3 generations of pedigree. then there is a "24/365" pet recovery service for 15 dollars. If you dont have the paperwork you can register your dog at the AKC website https://www.apps.akc.org/dogreg/index.c ... tion=route All you need is the akc registration number. I hope this helps some new members like ,me and have a problem with finding paperwork. LOL |
| I didnt realise that you could choose the registration names of the puppies/dogs. Here in England, the breeder chooses the KC Registration name - often there is a theme running through the litter. Mine have the word "Moon" somewhere in their name. A lot of pet owners generally do not change the the registration of their puppy into their name. Their often response is "I dont care about showing and no interested in a pedigree therefore I cant be bothered!" |

Show breeders have kennel names and naming restrictions. often themes, etc. Casual breeders rarely do. And a lot of pet owners don't bother to register their dogs. My latest litter has a moon theme too. Several people said don't do it, so and so has recently done a moon theme etc. But they were conceived during a full moon and born during same, so ...

| Our kennel name goes on all the puppies we place whether they are show propects or companions. We generaly let the new owners pick out the rest of the name & then they run it past us for approval. We have them fill in their area on the registration form & we mail in the registration just to make sure they don't forget & thus makikng sure the puppy is registered. |

Kristine LOL - my last litter was conceived on the wane and born on a full moon - so I had to do it really! I wanted a Moon theme as my affix/Kennel Name begins with a M and being a witch - it was a no brainer really. I have noticed that a lot of breeders of late have followed my theme - annoying!! With Esher's name I had to go backwards and forwards with the KC as what I really wanted for her I wasnt allowed (Moonstone Magic). I'll have to think really hard for my next litter - gemstones could work or I could just stick with Moons - as there are a lot of words I can play with M M Moon etc. |
